Film on Bin-Laden Hit to Air in US 2 Days before Vote

The National Geographic Channel is scheduled to air a dramatic film inspired by the operation to eliminate terrorist leader Osama bin Laden. The broadcast is scheduled for two days before the elections in the United States. It will be available the next day on the Netflix internet movie service.

The movie, "Seal Team Six: The Raid on Osama bin Laden", is distributed by a company headed by Harvey Weinstein, a major donor to the re-election campaign of United States President Barack Obama, but the president of the National Geographic Channel stressed that the broadcast date is not tied to the elections.
